Kitchening Abouta bit-of-everything blog

Apart from a fair amount of cookbooks, I have a huge collection of recipes from magazines and catalogues. I collect them with the hope that someday I will try them out. I have tried a few of them.

I love to adapt these recipes to suit my preference and it adds to a great repository of recipes for future use.

In my fitness club, they provide members with a magazine once in a couple of months, featuring the club’s facilities, healthy recipes to try and trends in fitness and such. This magazine comes with a lovely collection of recipes that are well balanced in terms of flavours and nutrition.

This Lemony Quinoa with Feta is one such recipe that was featured in the latest edition, and I couldn’t help but try this one out. It is such a simple recipe yet packed with nutrition.

Quinoa is a great protein source for vegetarians and vegans. It is also loaded with fibre and iron making it a great ingredient to include for those who love eating healthy.

This superfood is perfect for diabetics and those on a gluten-free diet. It is a tummy-friendly food and makes a delish meal whatever you choose to have it with. The nutty flavour is unique and flavourful.

My sister makes a mean veggie bake; the first time I tasted it, I was in foodie heaven.I haven’t made a lot of vegetable bakes. I think it is the fear of not achieving the same taste as my sister’s version that holds me back. However, I decided to brave it and make a bake to get rid of the inhibition.

Boy! Was I pleased? I used safe flavour combinations to avoid disappointments. Cauliflower and broccoli paired with cheese is one of those matches made in heaven; you couldn’t go wrong even if you tried! This broccoli and cauliflower bake has non-complicated flavours, is simple to make, super delicious and family-friendly.

I wish I could share this bake with my sister to get her tick of approval. I am sure she will be proud of me.

As a bonus, broccoli and cauliflower bake is very healthy. Mop this cheesy bake with breads, eat this just like that or serve it with your main meals. Whatever way you choose to consume this, the broccoli and cauliflower bake will be a delightful meal.

There is no cornflour or other thickeners in the sauce, making it ideal for those watching their carb intake and calories. It is easy on the tummy and I promise even the fussiest kid who hates broccoli will become a convert.
